can you take beta alanine pre workout with your pre workout drink

[BestPriceNutrition]

@squatme15 yes many people do.

WHAT IS A DURRRING WORKOUT SUPPLEMENT DOING? ISN'T IT BETTER TO JUST DRINK TONS OF WATER WHILE ENGAGING IN VIGOROUS EXERCISE? I SEE THE VALUE IN A PRE-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENT AND I GUESS THE VALUE IN A POST WORKOUT ALTHOUGH I THINK I HAVE BETTER RESULTS HAVING I HIGH PROTEIN HIGH FIBER MEAL AFTER MY WORKOUT. BUT WHAT REALLY IS THE DURRING SUPPLEMENT GIVING YOU THAT YOUR PRE-WORKOUT IS NOT PROVIDING ALONG WITH A BASIC MULTI VITAMIN?

@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13 pre/intra workouts can be considered the same if there are not stims involved. Some people on a hypocaloric diet who don't want to burn muscle and don't want too many calories will sip on an anti catabolic drink. If you are not on a hypocaloric diet its not necessary. As for post workout high fiber and high protein should be reserved for an hour or 2 after training, immediately following training go w/ a 2:1 ratio of fast acting carbs and protein (~50g:25g). Hope this helps.

@squatme15 no not if your prewo already has beta alanine in it, you will just feel jittery and itchy if you add too much

@BestPriceNutrition i am very new to weight training and not to knowledgable of all the word you are using nor do i have a specific diet because there are so many diets and supplements out there i dont know what is right for me. thanks for the quick response though

@dtrrider1 no problem we appreciate the banter, thanks for watching.

@BestPriceNutrition Thanks for the articles on salt, has made interesting reading.

I'm not doubting the benefits of beta alanine, I'm just a bit dubious about the effects of long term use. As far as I'm aware, there have been no studies that ran longer than 12 weeks. I've read some articles that suggest cycling, where you take it for 12 weeks and then stop for a while, to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the replies, it's appreciated.

@dtrrider1 that is a point put out on various websites where they cite things like sodium (& saturated fats, which is nonsense) as unhealthy as an example of dietary things that are unsafe, search "it's time to end the war on salt" for some perspective on that line of thinking. Anyways it's a personal decision and one that you are certainly entitled to if you are really concerned with the safety record of beta alanine, we strongly disagree.

@BestPriceNutrition While it may be in our foods, it doesn't automatically mean it's good in excess amounts. Maybe we have enough from our diets already, maybe we don't. Not enough research has been done on the long term effects from supplementing it, so I'll wait a while before I decide to take it or not.
